"The Motorola U9 has a glossy touch on the front of it and a smooth touch on the back. It is like the pebble but it has not got a button on the bottom that if you press it, it flips up. the pebble is a very similer design but has no glossy finish. If you are thinking about getting this phone you might want to concider trying out this phone befor getting it. If you do like it you can get it in pink or purpule. I am not sure but I think you can get it in black and silver."
